Mounted on the wall

It goes in the bike pile in the basement with all the other bikes, obviously.
Or my car, but it can only fit one bike
Leaning against my living room wall where I can see and admire her whenever I like.
LOL
Let's see her

Ignore the mud. She had a rough day at the jump track yesterday.
sweeeet
nice gearing
She's the best. Goes down and up any trail I can find. She'll jump 8 meters (more if she had a better rider than me) without complaining a bit.
Making me put the gravel tires back on mine XD
I wish I had some nice mountain trails around me but unfortunately I live in one of the flattest places on earth
How do you clean her? any recommendations for the gear train?
Flattest places on earth? Denmark?
Close, Florida
😂😂
I just spray her down with water and then scrub with dish soap and water. Just make sure you scrub the drive train after the discs so you don't fuck your brake pads with grease residue. But most of the time I just leave her dirty because I ride most days and it gets old cleaning mud off her. I call it structural mud with my friends. If she sounds rough or the mud starts falling off in chunks I'll give her a quick wash.
On a trainer for the rainy days
In the covered bicycle parking that my apartment building provides.
The downhill bike i don't ride anymore hangs on my living room wall, the enduro i still ride is in my basement on the bike repair stand or whatever you call it. Ebike hangs on another wall and my bmx just does whatever
😂🤣 Typical BMX
I had one of those in my balcony once ... unfortunately on a standard 8 feet apartment, even when you lift it all the way up, the bike still gets in the way
Awhile back I saw a system where you would hang your bike on the wall using 2 hooks under the top bar. But the hooks have to be long enough so that the wheels don't touch the wall, or you'll get black stains from the tyres.
Pupper mentioned, now we require the photographic tax!
In the shipping container outside. I think the tyres perished. Got a dog that needs to be with me all the time and can't run fast, so I'm stuck walking instead. I did buy a child trailer thing but couldn't seem to mount it on the rear wheel quick release hoohaa.
I was thinking of getting a shipping container, how do you like yours as a bike shed?
It's good and cheap, but they get quite hot inside when in sunlight. Some people add ventilation panels / spinning roof vents to help.
I just put it on the ground floor of my apartment building, next to the entrance to the basement
I have 2 bikes and I live in an apartment. They come inside the apartment and live right by the front door against the wall.
Same as me, I guess
All over the garage where my car is supposed to be parked.
I lock it up outside.
If you're cold, they're cold.
Folded up in my car, I always have it with me.
Not a small space back then, but mine used to sit in the living room, until winter came and the melting snow would drip on the hardwood and the carbide studs would scatch the floor. So then my wife asked if I would mind bringing it down to the basement, which was reasonable. Now we are in a small condo, with no space for the bike, so it is chained to your parking stall pillar, and then extra llocks and chains through the wheels and frame.
I pulled a peice of furniture out from the wall and tucked it behind when I lived in an apartment.
I just store mine behind the front door. It really doesn't get in the way!
Smart! Easy access but not in the way
One in my cold shed, my main one in my heated tool shed and the third one in the attic space of that same shed waiting for frame repair.
🥲 That sounds nice
Depends. Depends on the layout of the floors. For example, in my case we have 4 flats on a floor, symmetrical 2 flats around the staircase. From my side (we have a lift and project had a garbage shute that never worked) the corridor is rather long so we build a wall with a door. In result I have a small area shared with a neigbour flat where I store... things. But it is MY flat, so I can build things if I need.
In my outside closet because I haven't used it in 10 years. Maybe I will use it soon. When I get any sorta income
Sitting in whichever space I can fit it, usually tangled up with my wife's bike.
Space isn't abundant where we are and they're bulky.
But hey, weather is off-and-on good enough to ride, so we get to use them plenty.
In the laundry room inside the unit.
That's a pretty good way to save the usability of the footprint btw. Might use it if I have to free up the laundry.
We live in a flat, but don't really have any special storage solution. Just bike stands to keep the wheels from marking the floor and the brake levers from scuffing up the walls. Two gravel bikes in the dining room (one is my wife's) and a road bike in a corner of the bedroom. In the winter the road bike goes on the turbo trainer in the same place.
We'll probably end up moving at least the gravel bikes to our cellar though, since we'll be needing extra space soon. Hopefully the road bike can stay upstairs though where I can admire it.
Folded up (it's a Brompton) in the entrance's dresser
I have fairly deep wall-mounted shelves on a wall starting a little over waist high. I can fit a bike or two in the space under those shelves without really taking up extra floor space
Nice that sounds kind of like what I wanted to do, can we see?
